2026 Employment Equity reporting: Additional compliance requirements.

Dear employer

A designated employer (i.e., an employer employing 50 or more employees) is now required to provide justifiable reasons where such an employer’s employment equity targets have not been met. 

Failure to submit EE reports may place employers in a difficult and indefensible position, which will result in: 

• non-compliance with the EE Act;  
• non-issuance of a compliance certificate; and may result in:
  • legal action; and 
  • significant fines, which may reach up to 10% of the employer’s turnover.

NEASA’s position on this arbitrary and practically impossible EE scheme is well articulated. However, due to the compulsory nature of this exercise, NEASA will assist you through this daunting process.

Call NEASA now at 012 332 5350 or email compliance@neasa.co.za for assistance.
